West Ham's dogs of war

A relegation dogfight calls for grit and West Ham's plight can be explained by a lack of fight until now. Despite missing the suspended Scott Parker against Sunderland, West Ham showed a willingness to get down and dirty, eventually coming out on top in a midfield slugfest. They won more than half of their tackles, with Mark Noble particularly adept at putting in a few reducers against the visitors.

26 shots, no goals - guess who was out?

Liverpool clearly missed Fernando Torres's finishing ability. Despite 26 efforts at goal, the home side could not find a way past Mark Schwarzer at Anfield. Not that David Ngog, Torres's replacement, was particularly culpable. The French striker had just two attempts at goal.
